It is now called Fitzgeralds, downtown LV.
Built by Moe Dalitz, once the leader of the Cleveland Syndicate.
After 40 years of building LV casinos with mob money, NV gaming called him forward for a license re-hearing. He opted to quit rather than come forward. Moe is often refered to as "The Father Of LV Gambling" or words to that effect.
DI, Stardust, Fremont, etc, etc, etc.
It opened the year I moved to LV.
